Freshman Athletes An outstanding prospect in the ath letic field comes in the personage of Al Smith, who hails from Douglass High School in Huntington, West Virginia. He plays left half in foot ball and forward in basketball. Inci dentally, his school won state foot ball championship in 1947 and the state basketball championship i n 19.51. He was a catcher on his school’s baseball team and also box ed in the Golden Gloves Tourney in Huntington, West V'irginia, for two years. He also has gained recognition by rimning the 100 yard dash in 9.10 minutes. Now don’t tell him that I told you, but he can buckdancc quite a bit too. .■\nother athlete \'0u may have spotted on the campus, by the beard he sports, is Richard Hales from Ad dison High School in Roanoke, ^'ir- ginia. He execis as a tackle. A six-footer right is James “Mud” Greer who also is from Douglass High School in Huntington, \\’. V'a. He plays end in football, ccnter in basketball and first base in baseball. He also sings, what I don’t know. I.istcn, and maybe >'Ou’ll be able to detect it. Alex Barksdale from Addison High School in Roanoke, \’irgiuia, plays left half in football, forward in basketball and second i)asc in basebidl. He also likes to wri'slle and play tennis. I should think that for all the \ig- orous fn'shuH'ii that wc ha\'c enter ing this f:ill, we should let Mr. Powe start a boxing team, Mr. Martin a track team and Mr. 'I'hoiuas a wrest ling tean). Greetings Freshmen! It is good to know that you’re to make Elizabeth City State Teachers College your home for at least four years. I hope that during your ex perience here you will learn to par ticipate whole-heartedly in as many of the activities on the campus as pos sible. Participation in the various ac tivities (Basketball, dance group, football, etc.) provides for social in- tergation, understanding of cooperat ion and human relationships, and will broaden your social, physical and in tellectual scope which will be neces sary for a college graduate. Now that you’re a part of us, you should assume the responsibility and sense of duty toward making your school one of the best. The first step toward this goal is to display positive attitudes that will make for strong school spirit. As a last thought, remember, hold your heads high whether we win or lose. Physical Education Dept. E. M. Gamble Welcome Freshmen! I take this opportunity to welcome the freshmen and new students to Elizabeth City State Teachers Col lege. I am hoping that the matter of adjustment to their new surrouund- ings won’t be to difficult and that soon they will take an active part in making this the kind of school that they can be proud of. I hope you won’t hesitate to call on me if I can ever be of ser\ice to you. Jack Housen Physical Education Dept. State Trounces the Livingstone Bears Smith, Rinehardt, Marsh and Thompson equal 20 points Playing their first conference game of the season, S.T.C. sluggishly ran roughshod over the Livingstone Col lege “Bears”. Freshmen backs, Ray Rinehardt and Al Smith, scored the first t w o touchdowns. Sophomore back. Perry Marsh, ran three consecu tive times to the right: the la.st time to score standing up. Red Thompson made good two out of three points after touchdowns. The Elizabeth City team did not play up to par. In spots John Jackson, John Cashwell, and William Andrews stood defensively. Coach Williams used three quarter-backs in bringing about this victory, (Booth, King, and Scott). Parker, Pemberton, Chambers, Gibbs and Payton stood out for the Livingstone team, but could not match wits with the “Fighting Pirates.” State has garnered 46 points while giving up only 26. Score by periods: Elizabeth City 6 7 0 7—20 Livingstone 0 0 0 0— 0 St. Augustine Licks S.T.C., Clarke Scores "Added Notes® Ale.xander Barksdale, freshman half back from Roanoke, Virginia, eased his way through the Bears’ forward wall many times to set up scoring pimchess — Guard George Clarke played his usual hard hitting game — Bobby King, freshman quarter-back, seems to be very promising. In a few games he should be “right”. Bobby Clarke, senior back of S| Augustine, passed and ran his teait to \ictory over a helpless Elizabel] City eleven. St. Augustine scored ir the first two minutes of the ga,i,f After holding the Pirate eleven fm less than ten yards, St. Augustiit took over on S.T.C.’s 48 yard line.
